The weak Goldbach conjecture is settled.
Quoting Terry Tao: "
Busy day in analytic number theory; Harald Helfgott has complemented his previous paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.5252 (obtaining minor arc estimates for the odd Goldbach problem) with major arc estimates, thus finally obtaining an unconditional proof of the odd Goldbach conjecture that every odd number greater than five is the sum of three primes.

This is great news. Means the rest of us will have to wrestle with the binary one.
At least, there is something left to do.
